How To Be Cute As A Bug In A Ladybug Costume This Halloweeen

by Michelle Hardy

A simple and fun idea for a Halloween costume is to dress you or your child as a ladybug. Everyone loves the ladybug look and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at all the compliments. Let me share with you some super simple tips to getting a great ladybug costume together.

The body of the costume (the base) can be a black leotard or tights (or pants and shirt). I recommend the black leotard. It can be inexpensive. Keep it simple… the best look is to come. Don’t forget the black shoes or slippers. Your hands can be covered with black gloves or mittens (perfect for cooler nights).

The wings come next. While you can make your own, I suggest buying them since they are relatively cheap and add a lot to the costume. If you go the “make it yourself” route, then you will need some easy fabric like felt. First cut the felt into two matching ovals, this should be done with red felt. The spots will be done with black felt, cut into small circles. Use fabric glue to glue the black spots onto the red ovals… these are the ladybug spots. Black ribbon will make the wings easy to put on and take off. This can be done to tie round the neck or round the arms depending on what you find more comfy.

To complete this Halloween costume you will certainly need antennas. This can also be bought or made. There are several ways to make the antennas. The easiest is to attach pipe cleaners to a headband. This can be topped off with red pom-poms. You can also substitute a headband with a black hat or cap.

A ladybug Halloween costume is a good fun idea that can be tailor-made to your preferences. This is a fun family project for everyone to get creative with. Putting together a costume such as this is often very rewarding and also relatively low-cost. This can make a fantastic outfit idea for everyone who does not want to invest a lot of cash this year, but still would like a enjoyable outfit that gets them in the spirit of this enjoyable holiday. It can be a very good outfit for a baby, or with the right dress and a cute pair of heels a very sexy outfit for an parent. This simple Halloween costume idea is extremely versatile and simple to create for Halloween night. Ladybug outfits are simply cute. If you want the entire neighborhood to enjoy the look of your little one then you have to get a baby ladybug outfit. You won’t feel disappointed about it and you will have a picture that you’ll look at many times.
